On Angel’s Wings
AN UNLIKELY POT
Earthy pu-erh, green mate and berries sharing the same water.
Dark fermented tea, brisk mate and bright fruit in a blend that should argue more than it does.
The story
Pu-erh brings the cellar. Mate brings the open window. Raspberry, blueberry and strawberry turn up with colour; nettle, carrot, calendula and mallow fill the gaps nobody expected to exist. It is an odd company, but the pot holds.
What this actually is
A loose blend of pu-erh tea and mate with raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, nettle, carrot, calendula, mallow and aroma. Dark fermented tea and green mate form the base; fruit and flowers brighten the edges.
